Just spent the weekend at Glen Wyllin. Found them by pure luck while hunting for a place to stay on the Island at the last minute
The family that run the camp were really friendly, pleasant and helpful
The site is clean and kept very tidy, regular bin cleaning etc
The toilets and showers were clean and presentable, the water in the showers was great, not cold!
They gave us lots of info about local routes, taxis etc. I didn't even know the lane led to a beach, we were over for the bikes!
The tent was a 6 man with living area and all the cooking gear and lights were supplied
They also charge your phones if you can't do it in your tent, a small donation to RNLI (Optional) is all that is suggested in return
If we are back next year this will be where I will be looking for, really pleased with how it turned out!

We stayed at Glen Wyllin for two nights at the begining of September. The campsite is in a beautiful location with a stream flowing through the middle of the site to the beach. There is also a nice little play park which the children enjoyed and a small shop on site which was very convenient. However we were very dismayed about the state of the shower/ toilet block. Bluntly put it was revolting! On the door of the ladies toilets there was a sheet that was to be signed and dated by the staff when they cleaned it. On our arrival they had not been cleaned for three days and they still had not been cleaned when we left two days later!

We mainly wild camped or used our two small backpacking tents whilst walking the Raad ny Foillan Isle of Man Coastal, however when we got to Kirk Michael we were wet, cold and tired. So rather than hunker down in the rain we decided to splash out and hire one of the static family tents at Glen Wyllin - at £55. 00 a bit steep for two people. However on the plus side we were dry, warm and the unit come with a cooker, the gas and all utensils - and you gain some comfort.
The site is in a lovely setting - although the midges were present in July (another good reason to be in the larger tent). The valley runs down to a beautiful sandy beach, there is a stream and waterfalls.
However the site and facilities were extremely disappointing. The wash blocks were filthy - and remained so for most of our stay. Two of the toilets were blocked - one was the disabled cubicle. I would not have entertained taking a person in a wheel chair into it. The showers needed a good hose down and also needed to be cleared of all the empty bottles and detritus that littered the floor.
The rubbish bins were overflowing, the laundry room was a disgrace, the shop was very lacking in supplies. All in all the site was a shambles - and it wasn't even busy.
If you want to stay in a fabulous site try the one at Laxey - staff and management at Glen Wyllin should go and stay there to see how a camp ground should be run.

We (myself, husband, 2 children age 2 and 5) have just returned from visiting this site. It is set in a beautiful Glen with a stream running through and a waterfall.
Its road running through the centre ends at golden beach. We were really lucky with the weather and on the most part enjoyed our stay,
The negative things that stick out however are
1. the midgies, trees and stream = lots of bites!
2. Twice the loos were out of paper
3. the loos weren't particularly clean.
4. the showers were far too hot for my 2 year old.
5. the embankment down to the flat part of bottom field is very steep and very slippery when wet with morning dew ( I slipped and hurt my shoulder)
All in all wouldn't use this site again.

Good points:-
Near beach and near village with shop, pub (The Mitre) and Post Office.
Sheltered site surrounded by trees and with a stream going through the site. Several separate fields in which to pitch, either side of the lane. Flat fields, and there is a fantastic tent pitch overlooking the sea (already taken when we got there!)
Plenty of loos and free, hot showers.
Small shop on site that sells basic refreshments and has seating outside. Friendly service.
Childrens play park on site, but you can pitch away from this if you don't want to be near it.
Bad points:-
Showers, loos and kitchen area were not very clean
Site is situated either side of a public lane which goes to beach. Therefore, people use it for dog walking, or going to the beach. Some people drive through with surfing gear etc and park at the end of the lane near one of the tent fields
The field we pitched in had some large boggy patches
You can't drive your car onto the tent field nearest the beach and you have to park it at side of public lane.
Shop not well stocked (eg didn't sell milk!)
Limited menu in Mitre pub and no food on a Sun or Mon evening.
We stayed one night and this was our least favourite of the three sites we used.

We stayed at Glen Wyllin campsite for 10 nights over the TT period. We selected the site via this website and the reports already shown. As we are not early risers, so we also needed a site which was not shut-off when the roads are closed for racing and practice. So on paper, this site seemed to fit our requirements. We were not disappointed at all.
We arrived by motorbike and trailer-tent. We had pre-booked with (hook-up) and were shown to our pitch. The site is split into a few areas – not all in one big field, and the part we were in was well sheltered by hills and trees, but still allowed sunshine throughout the day. The ground was quite level and tent-pegs went in easily.
The site is well equipped with adequate water and waste points. There is an on-site shop with most basic equipment (although not gas). Over the TT period there was also a mobile van doing bacon butties in the morning and baked potatoes in the evening.
The on-site toilets and showers are basic but clean, well maintained and there were no queues at the times we needed them. The showers were always hot and powerful and the loo-roll holders were nearly always full.
The site also seemed to have many I.O.M. Residents visiting – a sign that his site is preferred by the ‘locals’. There was one issue with late night noise but this was dealt with very efficiently by the site and without a bad atmosphere.
Both the beach and the TT circuit are within five minutes walking distance, and ‘The Mitre’ pub is just ten minutes walk away. The pub has traditional ales and good meals. There is also occasional live music. The village shop has an extensive selection of groceries, etc. Apart from the racing, the Isle of Man has tremendous history, with its own government and laws. A good selection of castles, museums and other attractions are available.
Would we use this site again?? Most definitely!
